"You Find Em, We Shine Them!" Doc's Rocks Gem Mine is a Western North Carolina based gemstone mining operation in Blowing Rock Next To Mystery Hill. We purchase our mine ore from local North Carolina gem mines by the ton and resell it to the general public by the shovel full. Because of this, we can't guarantee what you'll find in the ore. However, if you don't find anything of value, we'll provide an equal amount of the ore you purchased for free so you'll have another chance to find something good. Once you find your treasure, Doc can personally facet your stone and set it into the jewelry of your choice. Distributed by Tubemogul. www.mountaintvguide.com

June 22, 2016 Homeschooling group field trip to Cooper's Gem Mine.
Along the way we spotted a Box Turtle and at the end of sifting through the rocks a woman told me they had spotted a snake down in the creek so I couldn't help but have a look see about it and wound up catching that little critter. Thankfully the owners of the mine had no problem with me taking the Yellow Bellied Water Snake home as well. We for sure had a real good time at Cooper's mine, the people that own it are super friendly people and even though the place is small, it's a very nice and peaceful place to visit.

I got 3 gemstones cut by the lapidarian at Emerald Hollow Mine; a labradorite, an amazonite, and a garnet. If you are interested in going go to there website and and plan a trip.

Holiday Valley's newest attraction to Sky High Adventure Park, the Mister Happy Gem Mining Company. Targeted to children as young as 2, the experience mimics old fashioned panning for gold. Each miner purchases a bag of sand that contains either gems or fossils. The contents of the bag are dumped into a mining pan. Miners wash the sand away with water that flows through a 65 foot long sluice and the treasures are left in the pan. An identification card is included for children to learn more about their gems or fossils.
Mister Happy Gem Mine is located at Sky High, near Holiday Valley’s Tannenbaum Lodge.

The Tron Roadmap.
Follow us on Twitter , Facebook , Steemit , and join our Telegram channel for the latest blockchain and cryptocurrency news.
With an already existing user base of over 180 million, the opportunities for this Blockchain and cryptocurrency seem enormous. Also, it will likely not have to bootstrap and this is a deviation from the trajectory of most apps and platforms of this nature.
An outsider continues to steal the crypto spotlight.
Investors started telling CoinDesk in late December that Telegram was looking at doing some kind of ICO.
All that on top of promising super fast payments and micropayments using mobile devices, with negligible transaction fees.
With these announcements, fake sites quickly popped up claiming to be the place to buy grams. Confirming that one was fake in a tweet proved to be the closest Durov has come to a public confirmation of the crowdsale.

By mid-month, the idea that Telegram might raise its fundraising round even higher was reported by Bloomberg.
Early February.
They come up with a lockup period that releases tokens after four waiting periods, the longest one last 18 months.
Late February.
Finally, Telegram has apparently offered investors some kind of refund provision if it fails to deliver the TON platform by the end of October 2019, Business Insider reported.
The leader in blockchain news, CoinDesk is a media outlet that strives for the highest journalistic standards and abides by a strict set of editorial policies. CoinDesk is an independent operating subsidiary of Digital Currency Group, which invests in cryptocurrencies and blockchain startups.
The filing names Ton Issuer Inc. and Telegram Group Inc. along with the two individuals, Pavel Durov and Nikolai Durov, as related persons.
Apart from building on the extensive userbase Telegram has amassed, and serving as a medium of exchange with a native cryptocurrency called GRAM, the TON platform also aims to include smart contracts and decentralized services such as TON Storage and TON Proxy.
